Embodiment Construction

[0022]In the following text, the invention will be explained in greater detail, starting from disadvantages of the prior art (FIGS. 1 to 3). However, the invention is not restricted here to the exemplary embodiments which are shown or explained, but rather can be applied to all fastening elements 100 of a radiator frame 10 or of a frame basic body 10 or of a frame plenum 10, as long as a fastening element 100 of this type has at least two retaining faces 123 which are configured so as to be either separate from one another spatially and / or contiguous, and in the process their respective longitudinal extents L or transverse extents Q do not coincide, which is the case, for example, in a retaining face 123 which is L-shaped or U-shaped overall—in the former case there are actually two retaining faces 123, 123 and in the latter case there are actually three retaining faces 123, 123, 123 (cf. FIG. 4).

[0023]During operation of the motor vehicle, acceleration forces a (see FIGS. 2 to 4) a...

Abstract

A radiator frame (10) for a cooling module of an internal combustion engine, having a fastening element (100) for fastening the cooling module to / on / in a radiator of the internal combustion engine, the fastening element (100) having a retaining face (123), by which the cooling module (1) can be locked in a translational and optionally a rotational direction, and an individual fastening element (100) has at least two retaining faces (123) in such a way that said fastening element (100) can be seated on mating faces at / on / in the radiator.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a radiator frame for a cooling module of an internal combustion engine, having a fastening element for fastening the cooling module to / on / in a radiator of the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, the invention relates to a cooling module or a cooling device for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, having a radiator frame according to the invention.[0002]A motor vehicle which can be driven by an internal combustion engine has as a rule a water cooling system which guides a cooling water which is heated by the internal combustion engine through a radiator, the cooling water discharging its heat to a cooling air which flows through the radiator. At a standstill and / or at slow speeds of the motor vehicle, a heat build-up occurs in the radiator which is typically arranged in the frontal region of the motor vehicle. In order to avoid a heat build-up of this type, the radiator is as a rule assigned a cooling module ...
